Also, we are talking about taking TF2 to a seasonal show (and when I say we, I mean me.. I haven't really approached the other guys yet!), like you normally see tv shows do. The segments we get are fairly sporadic, some folks send them in every week, some are sent in once a month, and some are sent in once and never again! :) So we're trying to find a way to have the best show possible, and get all the goodies in each show. Maybe 2 shows? a news show and then a community segments show? Hmm... Still thinking about this.
Just in case we do, I wanted to share with you some special TF2 news! Here's the news release!
Team Fortress 2 Ships Holiday UpdateNew class packs, hats, items and maps
December 15, 2011 -- Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Half-Life and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced the second annual holiday-themed "Australian Christmas" update, featuring two retro-futuristic "Dr. Grordbort" class packs for the Engineer and Pyro, designed by Weta Workshop's Greg Broadmore.
In addition to the class packs, the update will also ship 14 new holiday-themed weapons, hats and cosmetic items by the TF community's item creators, using the Steam Workshop. "CP_Foundry," a new five-cap control point map designed by Valve's TF2 team, comes with 12 map-specific achievements.
As part of the holiday celebration, over 50 items in the Mann Co. in-game store will be on sale for up to 75% until January 2nd, 2012. Additionally, the in-game item drop rate will be doubled for the first week of the event.
Team Fortress 2 is a free-to-play team-based first-person shooter that PC Gamer called "the most fun you can have online." With a growing community of players and item-creators, TF2 is more popular now than ever. For more information visit http://www.teamfortress.com/australianchristmas2011.

Ahhh... the smell of wood burning in the air... ice cold nipples... and an urge to drink hot cocoa... no.. it's not Grandma's Birthday... It's DECEMBER! One of my favorite months of the year. I love the weather. I love the Cheer. I love making my kids happy by decorating and the smiles they have while ripping through the wrapping paper on the gifts that Santa has left behind.
We are working on a bunch of projects for Christmas and New Years at the DWP factory. Probably too many, and we're weeding through them for the best, so we can concentrate and make a few great things instead of 4 billion so so things. Keep an eye on twitter (@brentcopeland) and of course listen to the show (The Shaft) and watch our videos (DWP on Youtube) and of course there is our (Tumblr) site you can view.
But for tonight, we give you the first part in a new series. An Adventure Map created by Ron Smalec, Grinchmas. Enjoy.

She is the utmost professional, and brings excitement to every minute working with her. She is very intelligent and has incredible ideas. There is a reason Mojang hired her, and they were absolutely correct in doing so, because she IS incredible. And if you don't see it, then you are just going to be a lonely person. I've seen people say that it's their right not to like someone for whatever reason, and that's absolutely true. But if you don't like Minecraft Chick, then you just don't know her. And it's still your right not to, but have you ever heard the phrase, "if you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all?"
Seriously.. has she beaten your puppy or something? She did an amazing Job at Minecon. Were there some issues? Of course there were. There are at ALL cons. I have yet been to a con and thought it went over a 100%. Especially some group's FIRST con! Seriously. This was their very FIRST convention, and I will never forget the incredible weekend I had. If that is the outcome, then I can't wait for the next one.
I feel truly blessed to be able to call Lydia a friend, and I had a hard time watching the comments on the We Built This Town video about her, and we made a call as a group to not give in to the trolls, but seeing this bs after Minecon is just too much.
Lydia. You are an amazing person, and we all stand behind you. Don't listen to the trolls, cause that's all they are doing is Trollolllolllin'
<3
Check out this awesome picture that EsdaFable drew at Minecon!

Just got done looking at the convention floor being set up and the panel rooms and I've got to say this con is going to rock! Mojang has done an incredible job and I can't wait to see it in full swing.
Bit burner is finally here as well. Eric and Wes are with him now getting his bags from the car. I'm up here at the room writing this and taking a shower. Then we head back down for some more fun.
Hope to see you here. Yes you!
Above tn on the way to Nashville seeing tons of tweets from folks that are already there or on the way. Can't wait to get there and see everyone. Eric and Wes are on different parts of the plane and I feel bad for the two folks that are sitting next to me. Nothing like a flight to get you wanting to loose some weight.
Anyways. We'll be in Vegas in around four hours god willing and we'll be looking for a taxi to Mandalay. Maybe they will have some sort of shuttle. See you soon!

Hard to do anything at all right now... the anticipation of Minecon is killing me, and I can't wait to go. And I know people are probably getting absolutely sick of hearing me talk about Minecon. I'll be trying to get a few nuggets.. behind the scenes type of audio for the @brentcopeland feed, so stay tuned. I'm trying to work out a quick easy way to add the files while I'm out and about, and I think I've figured it out. Kinda.
We will see!
Anyways. Just a quick... I'm excited about Minecon update!

Just another reminder.. if you get an idea.. go do it.. or someone else will. Especially if it's worth doing. And here it is. You might have remembered me talking about this on G+ a long time ago, but anyways... The iTar... pretty sure they'll get sued over the name.

Thanks Roboevan for Fable III! got it installed and played a bit last night. So far, the story has been good, the graphics and gameplay have been good as well. And the dog looks like my dog, Odie. Which is cool. i'd really like to play some of the coop if anyone out there wants to try that at all, just holler and lets get it hooked up. Also, right now is the Hallow's End event in WoW, so I've been doing that as well. Trying to get me the headless horseman's mount. 3 years of this, and still no mount. It's time!!! It's truly time! Then top that off with some TF2 fun on the 4L server and some Minecraft on my personal server, and it was a gaming extravaganza for me last night. Ok.. i'm hungry now. It's lunchtime. Then time to order some "The Shaft" stickers. Hope they turn out as good as they look, and hope we get t hem in time for minecon!
What on earth am I thinking?! Isn't it like all 90's to have your own website? Shouldn't I just be trolling my twitter an fb links?! Well, don't worry, I am. I just had this url forever and started the new @brentcopeland podcast that had to be somewhere, so I thought... why not here. There may or may not be a reason to come here ever again... isn't that awesome.
